I, a new fan, who had not watched Transformers before the movies, support the idea. Although I would only be satisfied if they purposely put in a ton of "errors". Those were fun to spot and the show, really, wouldn't be the same without them.

I'm certain Cullen would support it, we know Dan whozit supports it and I'm sure Welker would participate. I wonder who else they could get back for it? Bigger questions is who would replace the dead cast members?

Have you seen TMNT: Forever? It was wonderful crossover between the new and the old turtles. They incorporate all goofy things from the old series in such comedic tone that TMNT: Forever only won from it.

We lost too many voice actors for such a thing to work, either through death or anger issues. If you follow from rebirth it would just be clean up episodes anyway, and those do not tend to be overly popular.

What's weird is that if you go by the Japanese numbering of the original 3 seasons plus Rebirth, the episode count reaches about 107. I'm not sure what they did differently. I know they tweaked some stuff. They must have split a few episodes into two parts and padded them or something.

Talk to Furman. I'm sure he'd be interested in reviving another project that didn't need it.

Oddly enough, for as much as we supposedly don't need that, it is by far the most I have looked forward to new TF comics in a very long time. Maybe because despite how skeptical I was about the whole idea, the similar GI Joe continuation IDW has been doing ended up being so good.

I've always wanted them to do a comic that did a "Season 2.5" that kept the tone of the series but gradually introduced the newer characters and lead up to the movie.

With ReGeneration #81 on the horizon, anything is possible...

That would be very cool. I actually just finished watching season 2 and the movie this week. It never really occurred to me just how much time had passed between the end of season 2 (presumably in the mid-eighties) and the movie, which is set in 2005 for f's sake. Tons of stories to be told.

Episodes 99 & 100 would have existed, but they just would have been "The Rebirth" Part 4 & 5. Behind the scenes issues shut down production at Sunbow and the company that bought out Sunbow reneged on the contract to make 5 episodes by cutting it to 3 episodes and giving them only the time to make 1 1/2 episodes to make all 3 episodes. That's why it looks more rushed as the 3-parter goes on.

Yeah, 20 years. Enough time for Spike to grow up, marry Carly, and have a 10 year-old son. It was a big jump.

True dis.

Tbh there isn't really anywhere left to go after the end of the The Rebirth. For me anyways, it was a satisfactory conclusion to the G1 show. Let's face it, that thing could have been dragged out forever if someone had felt so inclined, so I'm glad it ended where it did. Besides, as Gingershris points out, G1 continued anyway with the Beast era.
I would love one day to see some official canon which fills in the gap between G1/The Rebirth and Beast Wars episode one, but sometimes a man can want too much...
